Bit O'Red bag big names for their backroom

Sligo Rovers have announced a couple of high-profile additions to Owen Heary's coaching staff.

Former Ireland and Manchester United midfielder Liam O’Brien and former Sligo star Joseph Ndo have both signed up to assist the Bit O'Red manager.

"It's definitely good to have them both on board," Heary said. 

"Liam brings a lot of experience here. He has played at the highest level for clubs like Manchester United and Newcastle United and been an international with Ireland. He has also coached at a high level with Hibernians and brings plenty of experience to our staff," added Heary.

"Joseph will bring some new ideas to the coaching side. He has only recently finished playing and will be able to bring that experience into coaching. I think that they can both bring a lot to the club and help improve results."

Heary, who worked under O’Brien while he was at Bohemians and played alongside former Cameroon international Ndo at Shelbourne, continued: "I won the league while I played under Liam at Bohs so I know him well and how he works. He will add a lot in preparing players for games.

"I played with and against Joey many times so I know how well how good he is and that is why I am bringing him in."
